Okay, Sorry that I haven't updated the last two days, but yesterday was my birthday and Friday was a dance, so I didn't really have time to write. Thanks. BTW I have a website now.
"How?" Lily asks eagerness written all over her face.
"I'm smarter than I look. I could take Remus on a run for his money. I may not look it, but I am. Although I did inherit my mothers clumsiness, I also inherited her talent. Brilliant she was." I say gradually lowering my voice until the last words are barely a whisper.
Harry chooses this time to start reading again.
"Bye Remus." Us girls chorus and head towards the room of requirement.
"Do you do that often?" Peter asks curiosity getting the better of him.
"More often then you would think." I reply smiling at how close me and the girls have gotten.
"Bye" he says to himself, then races off to find his friends. He soon finds them in the same place as before, having not moved an inch.
Lily snorted. "Probably too lazy to move."
"Evans, I am genuinely hurt." James says feigning hurt.
I try and go and get them,
"See! At least Remus TRIES to get us!" Sirius grumbles.
but I get flung back, probably by a ward one of the girls have placed around the place.
"Ah yes, the locker wards." I say fondly as if remembering a memory.
"What's a locker ward?" Sirius asks.
"When Lacey and I were younger we would get bullied a lot. In muggle schools they have these things called lockers. They're like trunks, but on a wall. Anyways, people would always break into our lockers. When we found out we had magic, me and Lacey in our second year figured out a spell that could keep people out. We altered that and made it a ward in our fifth year." I convey.
I try and remove it, but to no avail.
"It works then...good." I muse.
I then go and get Professor Mcgonagall and she can't get rid of them, then the headmaster can't get rid of them either.
"No way! There isn't a spell that Dumbledore can't take down!" Alice exclaims suddenly.
I snort. "No, the only person who can take down wards that powerful would be Lacey and Merlin."
"I'll be right back sir." I say and to the room of requirement where the girls are staying.
I get there and pace in front of the door three times, thinking that I need Maira, and the door appears. I step inside and am shocked.
"What? Never seen a girls room Moony?" James nudges Remus, who blushes.
The walls of the room are light blue, the carpet white with a large window with a light blue window seat. In the left of the room was a soft lilac couch and armchairs with a flat screen television.
"Tellavision?" Arthur asks.
"Moving pictures." Lily replied saving me from having to explain what a television was.
On the right side of the room is a little dining table and a mini kitchen. 'How they get the muggle technology to work in here is something' I muse while looking around some more.
I sigh. "It's simple magic. Honestly Albus, you would think that after so many years of being here you would step up your game.." Minerva looked affronted and ready to argue, but Harry cut her off before she could even begin.
There are six doors around the large room which I'm guessing lead to three bedrooms and a bathroom, but I don't know what the other two rooms are.
"EXPLORE!" James and Sirius yelled causing half the room to cover their ears.
"Maira?" I question, and I hear a muffled "come in" from the second door in the room. I walk in to see dark blue walls and light pink carpeting, and a king sized four-poster bed in the middle of the room. I then see that she is sitting on her bed Indian-style reading a book.
"Of course you're reading a book." Harry smirks.
"What book is it?" Lily asks eager to learn more about anything.
"I was reading a muggle book called How to Kill a Mockingbird." I state.
Harry begins to read again.
I then look at what she's wearing, and my eyes widen. She's wearing a dark blue hater shirt with a deep v-neck, and a pair of light blue shorts that go down to about mid-thigh. She laughs at my reaction, and motions for me to sit down next to her. I shake my head and say, "What wards did you put up around James and Sirius?" I ask her and she just looks confused until she gets a look of understanding comes across her face.
"That girl never tells me when she's going to strike." I mumble.
"I wouldn't either, surprise is a huge advantage." Peter says while looking at me. I grip Harry's arm so tight, I'm afraid that he's going to lose circulation in his lower arm. He looks down at me worriedly, but I just send a (fake) reassuring smile towards him. He smiles a small smile down at me, and continues reading.
"Follow me." she says and I nod. She walks out the room, and into the room behind the first door. This room looks a lot like the common room outside the door. "Lacey get your butt out of the shower and come here." She screams and bangs on the door to what I'm guessing is the en-suit bathroom. Lacey comes out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel.
Remus blushes and I smile.
I gulp and turn back to Maira, and she seems to be watching me intently. She blushes and turns to Lacey who was watching us with an amused smile. "Okay, What did you do to Sirius and James?" Maira asks and Lacey snickers.
"I only put up a few of my own wards." She says.
"Ones that even Dumbledore can't break?" I look at her doubtingly.
"Well, yes as only I can take them down." She says and Maira laughs.
"Well get dressed and then you need to go take down the wards." Maira says
Five minutes and one scarred brain later,
"Ooooooohh, what happened?" Frank asked with so much anticipation that he could barely keep it under wraps.
"Let's just say that Lacey doesn't have any shame of what her body looks like." I say with a smirk in Remus' direction.
"That she doesn't. I've had to deal with it first hand." says Neville coming up behind me.
"I am so sorry Neville! I d-didn't know that you were allergic to beeswax. I swear!" I exclaimed while running around the chair to get to him.
"It's fine. I swear it's fine. It's not the first time. I didn't know until a year ago, so there's no way you could've known. It's fine." he ended sternly when he saw that she was still making sure he's okay. It was a bit sweet but he had his eye on someone already. She nods and pouts slightly. I walk over and sit at the bottom of my fiance's chair. He starts reading once Neville takes a seat next to him.
the girls and me stepped out of the room of requirement, and headed down to the hall where James and Sirius were. We got there to see Dumbledore and other teachers still trying to remove the wards. Right when Dumbledore leans his weight on the ward for a break, Lacey removes the wards so Dumbledore falls to the ground with an 'oomph'.
He reads and I burst out laughing. Soon the others start laughing, and everyone is in a laughing fit. Even the stern exterior of Minerva Mcgonagall was chuckling along with everyone else.
Lacey, Maira, and I burst out laughing much to the amusement of the other teachers while Dumbledore gets up.
"Would you like me to reverse the effects of the spells headmaster?" Maira asks and he nods. She then walks over to James and mutters something that I've never heard before, then turns to Sirius and does the same thing. "There we go. Well, off I go. I'm gonna head back to my room. Bye everyone." She says, and by now James and Sirius are beginning to wake up.
"That woman certainly is something." James says while watching her go.
"I am. You now how many times I've gotten told that for a year?" I ask rhetorically.
"I still want to know how she knows who I am, and who's this Harry fella?" Sirius grumbled.
"ME!" Harry yells and I laugh a little.
I laughed at my friend antics.
"Well, we can go after dinner and question the girls okay?" I say and they both nod enthusiastically.
"And that's the end of the chapter. Anyways, I guess introductions are in order. Okay, so we have The marauders Peter Pettigrew, James Potter,Sirius Black (who you would know as an Azkaban escapee) and Remus Lupin. (your third year proffessor.) Then we have Arthur and Molly Weasley (Ron and Ginny's parents). There's my Grandmother Andromeda Tonks and my mother Nymphadora Tonks (a five year old version of her at least). There's Lily Evans (Soon to be Potter) and Severus Snape. Then you have a younger version of old Dum and you have a younger Min. Then you have your parents. Yes, your parents. Miss Alice Prewett and Mister Frank Longbottom." I say and he has tears in eyes as he looks upon his parents. The father and mother he had always wanted but never got because of that bitch of witch.
"I think I need the night to process this. Can you show me where I'm staying? Please?" Neville asked with a pleading tone to me. I know what it's like to go back in time and see people who are long past dead or even not in their sane minds. I nodded and smiled.
"Bye everyone. I'll see you tomorrow morning." I shouted over my shoulder as I led Neville and Harry to the Room of Requirement. We got there and I quickly paced in front of the wall. I opened the door and plopped down on the couch. Neville set on exploring the place. In about five minutes we were all sitting on the couch. We all sat in silence, each in deep thought. Neville was in though abou this parents. About the childhood he could of had, had Bellatrix and Voldemort stayed out of the way. He would've grown up with his parents around instead of visiting them in on Christmas. He could have grown up like any other pureblood or half-blood. Harry was thinking about his own childhood as well. Why couldn't of he been sent with Remus? Why did he have to be raised by the Dursleys where they abused him? What was Dumbledore playing at? While Maira was thinking of a whole different matter entirely. She was thinking about the war. Her own parents had died with the casualties of the war along with her grandfather. What had happened for her to deserve this? What had happened to little Colin Creevey or his brother to make them live life without the other? Everyone suffered a casualty of war. All of those deaths, they were just casualties of war. But at least they died trying to make their world a better place for their children and grandchildren.
